That's perhaps a somewhat unlucky comparism. Eurydice died of a snakebite at a very young age and could not be brought back.
Might I suggest Philemon and Baucis instead? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baucis_and_Philemon

Oops. Maybe I should have looked it up before posting. I remembered Orpheus going to the underworld to retrieve Eurydice, but did not remember that he failed in the end.

Does Diogenes count as a myth, since much that is told about him is probably apocryphal? I'm a wise ass who challenges the establishment and conventional thinking. I also live in a bathtub. So get out of my sun.

That's Sisyphus, already mentioned by three other posters in this thread. Considering the repetitive nature of the myth—Sisyphus rolls the rock up the hill, it rolls back down, Sisyphus rolls it back up, etc. for eternity—it seems poetically appropriate that it should be cited by so many.
I'm disappointed that nobody's claiming to be Prometheus, punished for bringing enlightenment to ignoramuses.
DH has a bug up his butt about civilization forcing him to conform. Perhaps he's a victim of Procrustes.

^Anyone claiming to Prometheus is likely to have more in common with Narcissus, I'd imagine. And speaking of Narcissus, I can think of a few Echos I know as well.

To answer the question properly
in terms of classical mythology, right now it would have to be Icarus in his drowning state.
If I can upgrade myself to a phoenix, I'll be doing well.

It seems I have also taken on the legend of Alexander the Great too, killing off mighty Gordian threads.
Or maybe this thread is Lazarus and I've brought it back to life again?

Btw, here's a Tamarian dictionary: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Tamarian_language
As for Prometheus: being chained to a rock and having an eagle eat one's liver is propably something not many people can relate to nowadays, particularly given the fact that every single species of eagles is on the red list of endangered animals.
I am surprised, though, that while many can relate to Sisyphus, nobody mentioned Tantalus. I would have expected everyone who's on a diet to sympathize with him.
ROTFLMAO What a pity this board has no rating system!
